Butterflies don't know when they enter different countries because borders are just lines on maps. NOW, if butterFLIES were butterBIKERS then they would get to discover all the things that make Mexico, the United States, and Canada similar and different.

*This is the video for teachers to show kids the importance of learning to convert units!*

As milkweed evolve new strategies of defense, monarch caterpillars must evolve new strategies of attack. While I follow the monarchs by bicycle on their migration from Mexico to Canada and back, I am having fun seeing the incredible consequences of this constant arms race.

After 800 miles of biking in Mexico (and 200 more to go), Sara wonders why the monarchs choose a place so far away to overwinter. Learn just why the monarchs can survive the winter in the Oyamel Fir forest of central Mexico.

In order for the monarch migration to not go extinct, people in the United States, Canada, and Mexico have to work together. In this video you will meet Moises who started Papalotzin, and education center that teaches kids all about the monarch and what to do to protect them.

After months of planning, Sara finally arrives to Mexico and the monarch sanctuaries. From rules to Spanish and the sound of millions of monarchs flying, learn about where the monarchs live from November to March.

The biggest threat to the monarch migration is habitat loss, and that means the best way to help protect the migration is to plant monarch gardens. It is actually not too difficult and the basics are explained in ButterBike's first Take 5 video.

Find yourself wondering just what ButterBike is and how it can integrate into your classroom? This is a short introductory video for educators, nature centers, and anyone that wants to connect adventure, conservation, and the monarch migration.
